Les Paul Autographed All American Guitar by Main Street. This guitar comes with a certificate of authenticity. Les Paul was a legendary American jazz, country and blues guitarist, songwriter, luthier and inventor. Among his many honors, Paul is one of a handful of artists with a permanent, stand-alone exhibit in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He was one of the pioneers of the solid-body electric guitar, which made the sound of rock and roll possible and is also included in the National Inventors Hall of Fame. He is also credited with many recording innovations. He recorded with his wife, Mary Ford, in the 1950's, and enjoyed 94 years with us before his passing in 2009. Partial proceeds will go to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in memory of Peter W. Chapulis.
